Hear ye Eddie Campbell fans, more for your listening delight, picking up from Eddie’s blog http://eddiecampbell.blogspot.com/: I’ve just noticed that the second part of the interview I did for the Australian Sci-fi radio show, Faster Than Light has been online for a whole week. My Fate of the Artist is discussed, with particular attention to Read the Rest…

If like me you’re a sucker for a nice bookmark, you’ll want to see Mr. Campbell’s excellent literary portraits, which he just mentioned again on his blog – the whole set is on display at Bent Books in Australia… This one is of Colette.

I’d love First Second to bridge a host of different fields of endeavor — and it’s begun already. Historical sites who seldom turn their scholarly gaze upon comics are now posting about George O’Connor’s JOURNEY TO MOHAWK COUNTRY; see for instance New York History Net… In other news, there’s a First Second interview at the Read the Rest…

The following appeared in “favorite books of 2006″ at CRITICAL MASS, the blog of the national book critics circle board of directors: And while critics have hailed this as The Year of the Graphic Novel Memoir, I must put in a plug, not for Alison Bechdel’s deeply poignant Fun Home, but for Eddie Campbell’s The Read the Rest…

And this is a subway sketch he did! There’s some fun stuff at his blog too: http://mattmadden.blogspot.com with lots of good pictures, a striking Japanese edition of 99 WAYS TO TELL A STORY, and even some Mexican educational cards for children — plenty to inspire designers everywhere.

Several of you have told me the link to Eddie Campbell’s blog wasn’t working in the earlier entry. Here it is: http://eddiecampbell.blogspot.com . Is it my imagination, or does Eddie pepper his work (and now his blog) with Beatles references? Oh wait, it’s “all the lonely people” I’m thinking of, not “all the lovely people”…
